We study the problem of finding a Hamiltonian cycle under the promise that the input graph has a minimum degree of at least $n/2$, where $n$ denotes the number of vertices in the graph. The classical theorem of Dirac states that such graphs…

In this paper, we present two main results. First, by only one conjecture (Conjecture 2.9) for recognizing a vertex symmetric graph, which is the hardest task for our problem, we construct an algorithm for finding an isomorphism between two…

Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) is an efficient and effective means of sampling posterior distributions on Euclidean space, which has been extended to manifolds with boundary. However, some applications require an extension to more general…

We present a polynomial-space algorithm that computes the number independent sets of any input graph in time $O(1.1387^n)$ for graphs with maximum degree 3 and in time $O(1.2355^n)$ for general graphs, where n is the number of vertices.…

A Hamilton cycle in a digraph is a cycle that passes through all the vertices, where all the arcs are oriented in the same direction. The problem of finding Hamilton cycles in directed graphs is well studied and is known to be hard. One of…

Finding a Hamiltonian cycle in a given graph is computationally challenging, and in general remains so even when one is further given one Hamiltonian cycle in the graph and asked to find another. In fact, no significantly faster algorithms…

We show that for every $k \in \mathbb{N}$ there exists $C > 0$ such that if $p^k \ge C \log^8 n / n$ then asymptotically almost surely the random graph $G_{n,p}$ contains the $k$\textsuperscript{th} power of a Hamilton cycle. This…

We present an algorithm CRE, which either finds a Hamilton cycle in a graph $G$ or determines that there is no such cycle in the graph. The algorithm's expected running time over input distribution $G\sim G(n,p)$ is $(1+o(1))n/p$, the…
